Emma Pearson did an amazing job. I loved the movie and I was able to see Champ in one of the scenes!! Pay attention to the water on the lower right section!!

The script was fun and was able to keep our entire family engaged. The budget was low for this production but they managed to pull something really nice. I would definitely would recommend this movie to parents and kids. After watch it I got some interest in learning more about the story of Champ. Maybe this can be the first of many more movies it.

Lastly, I cant wait until the film is presented to film festivals and we can find it in the movie theaters.

"Lucy & the Lake Monster" is one of the finest films I've seen this year. The core of this heartfelt drama is the relationship between Papa, the grandfather, (Richard Rossi) and his nine year-old granddaughter Lucy (Emma Pearson). They have the type of loving relationship every child needs with a parent or grandparent.

It's a wonderful movie for children, but also for everyone, because Papa and Lucy's adventure searching for the sea creature Champ is compelling to all ages.

The setting of the Lake Champlain region of New York and Vermont was gorgeous, and the scenery was displayed with breathtaking cinematography.

The music is fantastic. After leaving the theater in New York, we found ourselves singing the theme song, "You, Champ, and Me." When the rocking toe-tapper "Lago Time" played in the film, many in the audience were clapping, moving their arms, and some even danced in the aisles to the infectious beat.

This is a simple, but very powerful film and I found the relationship between Lucy and her grandfather especially touching.

After reading Lucy & the Lake Monster, I couldn't wait to see the movie. I enjoyed them both very much but I would highly recommend you read the book first because it does have a lot more in it as in most cases. The book explains more about the people in the movie and gives more details on Lucy's mom; which is so important and a big part of the story. I totally understand with movies you get in what you can and it's very expensive to produce. I would like to encourage parents and grandparents to share this great adventure with their family. We need more stories like these for our children today. Great job Kelly & Richard! I'm looking forward to your next writing adventure! Can't wait!

This independent film is breath of fresh air to the normal mature or violent films being made today. There's no fighting, shootouts, nudity or foul language. A feel-good movie that is very rarely seen today. It has subtle lessons as well as lessons about bullying. With emphasis about not to give up on your dreams, no matter what pressure you're experiencing. The audience, especially the children in the theater, cheer out loud for "Lucy and PaPa!" Richard Rossi is so multi-talented, and it shows with his collaboration with Kelly Tabor, who co-wrote the book and screenplay., The movie itself. The writing, the singing and creativity is put together beautifully. The outdoor scenes are put together smartly. And a lot of the scenery is breathtaking. There is also a great small town feeling that you get just from the scenery alone. A very special shout out to child actress, Emma Pearson. This beautiful young girl has a career ahead of her. She is so believable and projects her character showing almost no effort. After I found out how it was conceived and finally accomplished, I was even more impressed. The cameos are great, and what a sad coincidence that it became John Amos's last time on film. I recommend it for families and children of all ages.
